Nanoporous metallic foams with high surface area and novel functional behavior are positioned to stimulate new multifunctional and metamaterial applications. However, there are fundamental challenges in achieving uniform nanopores and tailorable morphology. Emerging templating methods offer a wide range of applicable metallic species while enhancing control of pore morphology, uniformity, and interconnectivity. Here, a critical review of nanoporous metal fabrication is presented, with focus on templating methods utilizing nanoporous polymeric templates. Metals are introduced into percolative nanochannels of sacrificial templates by deposition, and subsequent removal of templates yields ordered nanoporous metals. We introduce approaches for preparing nanoporous templates, including utilizing block copolymer self-assembly that yields periodic gyroid networks. While metallization of templates by electrodeposition has been demonstrated, electroless deposition permits uniform deposition by many metallic species and infiltration of narrow pores. Examples of nanoporous metals with uniform pore sizes below 50 nm fabricated by templating methods are examined.

“…To increase the reflectivity in the process of manufacturing glass microspheres are subjected to metallization; it creates additional section surface in a structurally inhomogeneous layer, improves their thermal conductivity and reflectivity (An, Zhang, 2012). The disadvantages of such materials are the destruction of microspheres during the metallization and high cost of technologies (Zhang, Wu and Zhao, 2005). The alternative is metal-glass composite materials and coatings with aluminum and steel matrix, filled with hollow glass microspheres .…”

Abstract. The article discusses the use of new metal-glass materials and coatings with steel and aluminum matrix, filled with hollow glass microspheres, as the structures protective layer of floating constructions which serve as transshipment and temporary storage points of radioactive substances of low and medium activity. The purpose of work is to establish patterns, to investigate processes and mechanisms of interaction of ionizing radiation with a protective metal-glass layer. The protective layer can be formed in plates by hot pressing method and with the help of radiation-resistant adhesives can be attached to the surface of structures; it is also possible to form it by electric-arc spraying. The work represents a set of theoretical researches based on modeling of interaction of ionizing radiation with the structural elements of metal-glass compositions, and contains new scientific information about patterns and mechanisms of formation of the protective properties. As an experimental evaluation criteria was adopted the mass attenuation coefficient of X-ray radiation, which characterizes the maximum protective ability of materials at their minimum density. The comparison of X-ray protective properties with other kinds of syntactics and coatings filled with solid particles of sodium-silicate and lead-containing glass showed that the properties of the metal-glass compositions are not inferior to counterparts. The research results can be used in structures designing of floating constructions for transportation of radioactive materials.

To achieve the admirable electrically conductivity without sacrificing the outstanding integrated performance of meta-aramid fibers is still a challenge. A novel method is developed for fabricating of electrically conductive poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) fibers in this paper. Firstly, the metal silver nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of PMIA fibers by simply dipping the fibers into a mixed aqueous suspension of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and nano silver sol. Then, the silver nanoparticles, depositing on the surface of the PMIA fibers, are functioned as the catalyst for the subsequent procedure of electroless nickel deposition together with the anchor for the coating layer. Followed by electroless nickel plating, homogeneous and dense nickel-coated PMIA fibers are obtained. And the properties and structures of nickel-coated PMIA fibers are investigated systematically, the electrical resistance of the nickel-coated PMIA fibers is measured using the multimeter. Without any post-treatment, the electrical resistance of the modified PMIA fibers can be as low as 5.5 Ω cm À1 . Meanwhile, outstanding mechanical performances of pure PMIA fibers are well maintained. This study also demonstrates the necessity of adding a small amount of DMAB as an auxiliary reducing agent. This approach may be equally applicable to fabricate conductive coatings on other polymer materials.
